The affected schools are scattered across 20 of Iran's 31 provinces, suggesting the crimes may be organized.

Many videos documenting the damage caused by the poison have been posted on social media. The following video was reportedly filmed at a girls' school in Shahryar district, Tehran province.

There have been reports of attacks on boys' schools as well as girls' schools.




According to PBS, the number of children who have been poisoned since November 2022 has reached 400. Meanwhile, Iranian state media has described videos posted on social media of children complaining of symptoms such as leg and abdominal pain and dizziness as 'hysterical reactions.'

At the time of writing, the Iranian government had only announced that 'two children were hospitalized due to chronic illnesses,' and no serious symptoms or deaths had been reported.
